Our Adoption Story!

This video has been finished since April, but I was waiting to post it until I could mail it as an adoption announcement for Ellie. I hope you have found our journey encouraging!

Beautifully done! My eyes are teary and my heart is full of praise for our Lord! I kept hearing "Welcome home Ellie" and was thinking of the day we reach our eternal home and hearing "Welcome home!" How great is our God!

What a beautiful story and baby girl. I remember Ellie when I went to visit my grandson and it is so good to see that all the heartache and pain is so worth it. May God bless your family and Ellie. Thank you so much for sharing your story. I know that God has great things in store for dear sweet little Ellie.
